Levels Of Care
Routine Care
Routine Care includes regularly scheduled visits to address the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of hospice patients and their caregivers. The hospice team travels to the patient's home, whether that is a traditional residence, nursing home, assisted living or any place the patient calls home.
Continuous Care
Continuous care is one of the four levels of hospice care in the Medicare Hospice Benefit and required by the Medicare hospice regulations. The regulatory definition of continuous care is meant to include predominately nursing care, covered for at least 8 hours, and up to 24 hours in a 24- hour period, beginning and ending at midnight. Either homemaker or hospice aide services or both may be covered on a 24-hour continuous basis during periods of crisis, but the care must be predominantly nursing care. The purpose of continuous care is to achieve palliation and management of acute medical symptoms.
General Inpatient Care (GIP)
General Inpatient Care is short-term relief for in-home hospice caregivers. Medicare benefits pay for patient transport and up to five consecutive days of GIP at a Medicare-approved nursing facility or hospital. You can receive GIP more than once, but only on an occasional basis. GIP enables the caregiver to rest and recover from the demands of daily in-home care. It is also appropriate when a patient’s medical condition warrants a short-term inpatient stay for pain or other symptoms that cannot be managed at home.
Respite Care
Respite care is short-term relief for in-home hospice caregivers. Medicare benefits pay for patient transport and up to five consecutive days of inpatient care at a Medicare-approved nursing facility or hospital. You can get respite care more than once, but only on an occasional basis. Hospice respite care enables the caregiver to rest and recover from the demands of daily in-home care. Respite care is also appropriate when a patient’s medical condition warrants a short-term inpatient stay for pain or other symptoms that cannot be managed at home.
